Ragnarok, a band bound to the darker and more tempestuous realms of black metal, have been conjuring the essence of evil and discord through their music since their inception in 1994. Hailing from Sarpsborg, Norway, the group was originally formed by Jontho, one of the genre's most respected and enduring drummers, who later switched to handling vocals, heralding a new era for the band. Known for their aggressive and raw sound, Ragnarok’s lyrical themes often delve into Satanism, anti-Christianity, and Norse mythology, adhering to the genre's traditional foundations.

Over the years, Ragnarok's discography has showcased an unwavering commitment to the black metal ethos, both in their sonic ferocity and atmospheric grimness. Albums like "Nattferd" (1995) and "Arising Realm" (1997) were early demonstrations of the band's relentless drive, which they have maintained through a career spanning more than two decades. Their most recent work, "Non Debellicata" (2019), stands as testament to their evolution yet anchored adherence to the roots of black metal, bringing in a matured, refined, yet no less malevolent sound. The band’s persistence and dedication to their art have earned them a steadfast position in the ranks of black metal's elite, with a cult following and influence that reach into the genre's depths.
